Well I had to reply to this. Not on venom or toxic, the bites.

I just had a baby catch me on the inside of the finger this summer. I was reaching to one in the bad of their tub and instead of the classic nose bump she got me. I thought cool let me get soe pictures. In that short time, she got enough in me to make it sore for a few days, NOT a big deal. I have had worse bee stings from the wasps around here. The odd/cool thing is the chronic back pain I have subsided A LOT. As soon as my finger stopped stinging in a few days, my back started to flare up to its crappy norm.
I told my one spinal doc and I could not believe the level of interest. She is going to do some research to see what snake venom is being used in chronic pains.

Yes its pretty easy to avoid a bite in these guys. This is one of the do as I say not as I do situations. You never know how you will react to it. Remember some people can die from bee stings.
